The U.S. Healthcare Compliance Certification Program (HCCP) is a four-day program offered in-person in May and virtually in October. The Program teaches the overall fundamentals of healthcare compliance and attracts professionals from across the country. Seton Hall Law School faculty and industry leaders provide a comprehensive overview of state, federal, and international law governing prescription drugs and medical devices. Attendees examine health care-related laws and regulations alongside other compliance, ethics and integrity officers, legal counsel, health care consultants, and regulatory and medical affairs professionals. Throughout the Program, participants engage in group problem-solving activities and analyze the covered laws and regulations through case studies.

Barristers’ Ball: Balancing Studies with Social Connection
Posted by Carter Massengill on 6/10/24 12:03 PM
For many in the legal profession, the concept of work-life balance seems elusive. Perhaps a narrative shift is needed: one that doesn’t compartmentalize work and life, but integrates them. Barristers’ Ball, an annual event hosted by the Student Bar Association (SBA), offers students a chance to unwind and rejuvenate while immersing themselves in the legal community. Barristers’ was held on March 23 at an exciting new venue, The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, NJ, which exuded an atmosphere of refinement with its soaring ceilings and chandeliers.

Re-Discovering a Passion for Health Law Through The Externship Program
Posted by Cheska Tolentino on 4/15/21 11:20 AM
Pursuing three different placements through Seton Hall Law’s Externship Program organically led me to re-discover my passion for healthcare. As an undergrad at Oberlin College, I majored in Biology planning to pursue a career in healthcare and life sciences. But after college, my career path shifted to government and public policy, moving away from the healthcare space for nine years. Then as I took steps to become a second-career law student, I chose Seton Hall Law in large due part to its top-ranked health law program. Little did I know that I would find fulfilling experiences in health law through Seton Hall Law School’s externship program.

Prior to law school, I heard rumors about how competitive law school would be – like classmates ripping pages out of books to make sure you do not get ahead of them.
